What's On: Graduate Fashion Week

Style Note: The Isabella Oliver Cape

Posted by London Darling

Yesterday was one of those cold and breezy days in London when you really need something warm and snug to wrap up in. And what better way to wrap up than in a cape. It's the perfect alternative to a winter coat. I received this beautiful one as a Christmas Gift from one of my favourite labels Isabella Oliver.

London Fashion Week Diary: BODYAMR

The BODYAMR show was one that I was particularly looking forward to, and it was well worth the wait. The signature draping that I love still played a huge role in the collection as an abundance of luxe fabrics and beaded embellishment.

I recently changed my beauty regime to include the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, the Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Skin Repair Moisturiser. It's been just six days, and already I've seen a noticeable difference in the clarity of my complexion and the texture of my skin.

Thank God for Graduate Fashion Week! I've been desperately trying to fill the void since the fashion week in London ended. So I'll definitely be attending next week's Gala Awards Show to check out the new, up and coming designers. Graduate Fashion Week is being presented by retailer River Island and this year we will see the celebration of work by more than 1000 of the best BA Degree fashion students.

The exhibition opens to the public on Sunday the 7th of June and this event is a must-go-see for the latest emerging fashion talent. Last year, Jessica Au picked up the coveted award for her quirky eccentric collection. Off the back of her win, she currently designs for River Island and has her sights firmly set on establishing her own label and distributing internationally.

There will be some big names at the graduate fashion gala, including a star studded panel to judge the designers battling it out for the prestigious Gold Award; Fashion guru Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon and Editor in Chief of Elle Lorraine Candy will grace the panel hot seats. The prize for this year's winner is a super sweet £20,000 and the announcement will take place on the 10th of June at Earls Court 2. Public open day tickets are available from £5.00.
